TECHNICAL FIELDThe disclosure relates to the field of automobiles, and in particular, to a laminated glass and a head-up display system.
BACKGROUNDWith the development of automotive intelligence, head-up display (HUD) systems are increasingly applied to automobiles to project images, such as real-time driving information, onto a front windshield. Due to the front windshield being laminated glass, a light ray emitted by a projection light source of the HUD system will undergo reflection when passing through each of two surfaces of the laminated glass in contact with air. The reflection on each of the two surfaces causes deviation, resulting in two mutually interfering ghost images, thus leading to a decrease in the quality of the image projected onto the front windshield.

In an embodiment, the first transparent substrate 110 is in close connection with the second transparent substrate 120 via the adhesive film 130. In order to conveniently and clearly illustrate a layered structure of the laminated glass 10, in the disclosure, a cross-sectional view of
Each of the first transparent substrate 110 and the second transparent substrate 120 may be a curved plate with light-transmitting capabilities. For example, each of the first transparent substrate 110 and the second transparent substrate 120 may be made of inorganic glass or organic glass. The inorganic glass may be, for example, soda-lime-silica glass, aluminum silicate glass, lithium aluminum silicate glass, or borosilicate glass. The organic glass may be, for example, polycarbonate (PC) glass, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) glass, or the like. Each of the first transparent substrate 110 and the second transparent substrate 120 may be transparent, or may be colored and have light-transmitting capabilities. The material of the first transparent substrate 110 may be the same as or different from the material of the second transparent substrate 120.
The light-transmitting region R20 is a region of the laminated glass 10 through which visible light can pass. In order to ensure driving safety after the laminated glass 10 is mounted to a vehicle, a visible light transmittance of the light-transmitting region R20 is preferably greater than or equal to 70%. The light-blocking region R10 refers to a region of the laminated glass 10 where a visible light transmittance is relatively low. The light-blocking region R10 is disposed around a periphery of the laminated glass 10.
The adhesive film 130 is disposed between the first transparent substrate 110 and the second transparent substrate 120 to adhere the first transparent substrate 110 and the second transparent substrate 120. The adhesive film 130 may be implemented in two structures, which will be described in detail hereinafter.
The laminated glass 10 further includes a masking layer 140 disposed in the light blocking region R10. The masking layer 140 may be a dark ink layer or a colored polymer film. The dark ink layer is disposed on at least one of the second surface 112 or the third surface 121. The colored polymer film is disposed between the second surface 112 and the third surface 121. The masking layer 140 has a low transmittance for a projection light ray. The masking layer 140 is carried on the first transparent substrate 110 or the second transparent substrate 120 and located in the light-blocking region R10. The masking layer 140 may be formed in the light-blocking region R10 through processes such as printing ink. Optionally, the masking layer 140 has a transmittance for the projection light ray less than or equal to 5%, preferably less than or equal to 1%. Optionally, the masking layer 140 may also be made of a resin film with dark color and low light transmittance. Alternatively, the masking layer 140 may also be made of a resin film with light color and low light transmittance. The resin film may be, for example, a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) which is mass colored.
In an embodiment, referring to
Specifically, if the laminated glass 10 does not include the masking layer 140, a projection light ray emitted by a projection device in the vehicle, for forming the first image P1 onto the laminated glass 10, is incident on the fourth surface 122 to enter the laminated glass 10, and then will be reflected by the first surface 111 of the first transparent substrate 110 to form reflected light A. Accordingly, the projection light ray incident onto the laminated glass 10 will also be reflected by the fourth surface 122 of the second transparent substrate 120 to enter the human eye. For the convenience of illustration, the projection light ray reflected by the fourth surface 122 is referred to as reflected light B. The reflected light B forms a main image visible to the human eye. The reflected light A forms a secondary image visible to the human eye. There is a certain offset between the secondary image and the main image. That is, a phenomenon of ghosting occurs. In the embodiments of the disclosure, the laminated glass 10 includes the masking layer 140, which can reduce or even block the reflected light A, thereby weakening or even blocking the ghosting caused by the reflected light A and the reflected light B. In addition, since the masking layer 140 has a low transmittance for the projection light ray, the masking layer 140 can serve as a display background for the main image, thereby improving the visibility of the main image and the contrast in brightness between the main image and the ambient, and significantly improving the display quality of the main image.
An application scenario of the laminated glass 10 is introduced below. In the case where the laminated glass 10 is applied to a vehicle 1, the laminated glass 10 is mounted to the vehicle 1 at a certain inclination angle to serve as a front windshield. The first transparent substrate 110 of the laminated glass 10 is a substrate exposed to the outside of the vehicle 1. The second transparent substrate 120 is a substrate inside the vehicle 1. To illustrate the beneficial effects in the case where the laminated glass 10 includes the masking layer 140, a case where the laminated glass 10 does not include the masking layer 140 will be described first. The projection device in the vehicle may project the first image P1 onto the laminated glass 10 to form the first image P1 on the second transparent substrate 120. Objects outside the vehicle can also be seen from the inside of the vehicle through the laminated glass 10. The projection device in the vehicle can emit a light ray to project the first image P1 onto the laminated glass 10, where the light ray is incident on the fourth surface 122 to enter the laminated glass 10, where the light ray can be reflected by the fourth surface 122 to form the reflected light B and be reflected by the first surface 111 to form the reflected light A. The reflected light B and the reflected light A do not coincide to generate a reflection ghost. A light ray from an object outside the vehicle can be incident on the first surface 111, enter the laminated glass 10, and then pass through the laminated glass 10 to enter the vehicle to form incident light C. The incident light C may form transmission ghosting due to the inclined mounting and the parallel thickness of the laminated glass 10. The laminated glass 10 in the embodiments of the disclosure includes the masking layer 140, which can reduce or even block the reflected light A and the incident light C, thereby weakening or even blocking the reflection ghosting and the transmission ghosting.
In conclusion, the laminated glass 10 provided in the embodiments of the disclosure has the masking layer 140 located in the light-blocking region R10, which can reduce or even block the reflection ghosting and the transmission ghosting. It can be seen that the laminated glass 10 provided in the embodiments of the disclosure can enhance the quality of the image projected thereon.
Referring to
It may be noted that the light-blocking region R10 is disposed to surround the light-transmitting region R20. That is, the first region R110, the second region R120, and the third region R130 are located in the light-blocking region R10 and cooperatively surround the light-transmitting region R20.
In the embodiments, the light-blocking region R10 is divided into three regions. The first region R110 has one or more first function display regions R111. In the case where the first region R110 has multiple first function display regions R111, the multiple first function display regions R111 may be arranged separately or formed integrally. Alternatively, some of the multiple first function display regions R111 are arranged separately and the rest of the multiple first function display regions R111 are formed integrally. Each of the first function display regions R111 is used for displaying of a corresponding one first image P1. Optionally, a ratio of a total area of the one or more first function display region R111 to the area of the first region R110 is greater than 10%, achieving better display effects of the first image P1. The second region R120 and the third region R130 on the one hand serve for shielding electronics or wiring mounted in later applications.
Referring to
In the embodiments, preferably, the proportion of S-polarized light in the projection light ray is 100%, so that the reflectivity of the first function display region R111 for the projection light ray incident can be further improved, thereby improving the clarity of the first image P1.

In the embodiments, the dielectric film 150 can reflect S-polarized light. The dielectric film 150 may be disposed on the fourth surface 122 (see
Referring to
In the embodiments, the dielectric film 150 can reflect P-polarized light. The dielectric film 150 may be, but is not limited to, a high refractive index layer, a low refractive index layer, a metal film (including one to five silver layers), or a laminated polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The dielectric film 150 may be disposed on the fourth surface 122 (see

In another embodiment, referring to
In yet another embodiment, in the case where the laminated glass 10 has multiple first function display regions R111, the flexible display screens 160 are used in combination with the first projection light source 170. The flexible display screens 160 are arranged corresponding to some of the first function display regions R111, and the first projection light sources 170 are arranged corresponding to the rest of the first function display regions R111. In the embodiments, it can not only weaken ghosting caused by reflection of the first transparent substrate 110 for the light rays emitted and reflection of the second transparent substrate 120 for the light rays emitted, but also increase the display diversity of the first function display regions R111. As such, mounting of the laminated glass 10 can be optimized according to practical applications.
It may be noted that the flexible display screen 160 or the first function display region R111 is closer to the fourth surface 122 than the masking layer 140, so that the masking layer 140 can serve as the display background of the first image P1. The masking layer 140 may be, but not limited to, a dark ink layer or a colored polymer film. Here, a projection display distance for the first image P1 ranges from 0.5 m to 5 m. In some embodiments, a projection display distance for the first image P1 is a distance between the first projection light source 170 and the first image P1.
Referring to
In the embodiments, the lower boundary of the primary viewing region R210 is at least 25 mm higher than the upper boundary of the first region R110, so that an optical sensitive zone can be avoided, and optical distortion between the first region R110 and the primary viewing region R210 can be avoided, where the optical distortion may interfere with an imaging in the first region R110 and an imaging in the primary viewing region R210.
Referring to
In the embodiments, the laminated glass 10 further has the second function display region R211. An area of the second function display region R211 is larger than that of the first function display region R111, so that the laminated glass 10 can display the second image P2 larger than the first image P1, thereby enriching the image display of the laminated glass 10. A projection light ray for forming the first image P1 is incident on the first function display region R111 at an angle of 50° to 72°, and the first function display region has a reflectivity, for the projection light ray for forming the first image P1, greater than or equal to 4%. A projection light ray for forming the second image P2 is incident on the second function display region R211 at an angle of 50° to 72°, and the second function display region R211 has a reflectivity, for the projection light ray for forming the second image P2, greater than or equal to 8%.
Referring to
In the embodiments, the thickness of the adhesive film 130 gradually decreases in the direction from the second region R120 to the first region R110. In other words, the adhesive film 130 is wedge-shaped. Optionally, a wedge-shaped angle caused by a gradual vary in thickness of the adhesive film 130 ranges from 0.15 mrad to 0.55 mrad. An orthographic projection of part of the adhesive film 130, which gradually varies in thickness, on the second transparent substrate 120 covers at least all of the second function display regions R211. The second function display region R211 servers as part of the fourth surface 122. A proportion of S-polarized light in the projection light ray incident for forming the second image P2 ranges from 60% to 100%. The second function display region R211 has a reflectivity greater than or equal to 8% for the projection light ray, for forming the second image P2, incident at an angle of 50° to 72°. Preferably, the proportion of S-polarized light in the projection light ray for forming the second image P2 is 100%. The adhesive film 130 that gradually varies in thickness can correct, by means of a wedge-shaped angle, ghosting in the second function display region R211 caused by reflection of the first transparent substrate 110 for the projection light ray incident and refection of the second transparent substrate 120 for the projection light ray incident. In addition, in the case where the laminated glass 10 has multiple second function display regions R211, wedge-shaped angles of the adhesive film 130 in different second function display regions R211 may be either equal or unequal. Since the second function display regions R211 differ in size, shape, and position, and incident angles of light sources are also different, different wedge-shaped angles are required to correct ghosting in each second function display region R211 caused by reflection of the first transparent substrate 110 for the projection light ray and reflection of the second transparent substrate 120 for the projection light ray. In the case where each of the second function display regions R211 has consistent setting conditions, the same wedge-shaped may also be used.

P-polarized light greater than 10%. Each of the first surface 111 of the first transparent substrate 110 and the fourth surface 122 of the second transparent substrate 120 has a very low reflectivity for P-polarized light incident at an angle of 50° to 72°. For example, each of the first surface 111 and the fourth surface 122 has a reflectivity for P-polarized light incident at an angle of 57° less than 1%, so that reflection of the first surface 111 for the light ray emitted and the reflection of the fourth surface 111 for the light ray emitted can be weakened, that is, ghosting caused by reflection of the first surface 111 and reflection of the fourth surface 122, for the light ray emitted by the light source at one side of the fourth surface 122, can be weakened.
Referring to
In the embodiments, the colored layer 180 is disposed on an outermost surface of the laminated glass 10 and at one side of the fourth surface 122. An orthographic projection of the colored layer 180 on the second transparent substrate 120 covers the colored region R30. The colored region R30 can be configured to shield electronic components or wiring mounted later, and can also be configured to assist in mounting of the laminated glass 10 onto other devices. For example, the colored region R30 facilitates gluing, aligning, or enhancement in adhesive strength. Furthermore, the upper boundary of the first region R110 is higher than an upper boundary of the colored region R30 in the first region R110. Optionally, the upper boundary of the first region R110 is at least 80 mm higher than the upper boundary of the colored region R30 in the first region R110, so that sufficient space is reserved for the first function display region R111.

In the embodiments, the vehicle 1 may be, but is not limited to, cars, multi-purpose automobiles (MPV), sports/suburban utility vehicles (SUV), off-road automobiles (ORV), pick-and-place automobiles, passenger cars, cargo cars, and the like. An included angle between the laminated glass 10 and the vertical plane is referred to as a mounting angle, and typically ranges from 50° to 72°. In the case where no masking layer 140 is provided in the laminated glass 10, two instances of ghosting occur. On the one hand, projection light rays emitted from the interior of the vehicle 1 will be reflected by the first transparent substrate 110 and the second transparent substrate 120 to cause ghosting. On the other hand, ghosting may further be caused by light rays passing through the laminated glass 1 from objects outside the vehicle 1, and reflected light formed by refection of the laminated glass 10 for the projection light rays emitted from the interior of the vehicle 1. With the aid of the masking layer 140, the above ghosting can be weakened or even eliminated. With the aid of the dielectric film 150, the above ghosting can be further weakened or even eliminated, and ghosting in the second function region R211 can be weakened or even eliminated. In the case where the mounting angle is 60°, experiments are conducted on reflection of the dielectric film 150, with light-transmitting capabilities, for projection light rays in the first function display region R111. The obtained data is presented in the following two tables.
In Table 1, in the case where the light source type is an ordinary light source, light emitted by the ordinary light source is an irregular collection of countless polarized lights, so when directly observed, it is impossible to determine which direction the light intensity is biased towards. This type of light, where the intensity of the light waves vibrating in various directions is equal, is also known as natural light. In the case where the light source type is P-polarized light, a proportion of P-polarized light in light rays emitted by the light source ranges from 60% to 100%. In the case where the light source type is S-polarized light, a proportion of S-polarized light in light rays emitted by the light source ranges from 60% to 100%. The light source type in Table 2 can refer to the illustration of the light source type in Table 1, and will not be repeated herein. The anti-reflective film is the afore-mentioned dielectric film 150 which has anti-reflection capability for S-polarized light and a relatively low reflectivity for S-polarized light (of not greater than 6%). The P-polarized reflective film is the afore-mentioned dielectric film 150 which can reflect P-polarized light. The S-polarized reflective film is the afore-mentioned dielectric film 150 which can reflect S-polarized light. The following can be seen from the experimental data in the above two tables. In an embodiment, in the first function display region R111, in the case where the first projection light source 170 is the ordinary light source and the anti-reflective film is mounted, a reflectivity of the fourth surface 122 for projection light rays emitted by the first projection light source 170 in the first function display region R111 decreases from 7.5% to 5.1%. In another embodiment, in the first function display region R111, in the case where the first projection light source 170 is configured to emit P-polarized light and the P-polarized reflective film is mounted, a reflectivity of the fourth surface 122 for projection light rays emitted by the first projection light source 170 in the first function display region R111 increases from 0.3% to 11%. In still another embodiment, in the first function display region R111, in the case where the first projection light source 170 is configured to emit S-polarized light and the S-polarized reflective film is mounted, the reflectivity of the fourth surface 122 for projection light rays emitted by the first projection light source 170 in the first function display region R111 increases from 13% to 22%.
Alternatively, the laminated glass 10 further has a transparent conductive layer. The transparent conductive layer is mounted between the first transparent substrate 110 and the second transparent substrate 120. The transparent conductive layer has at least one of heat insulation capacity and heating function for reflecting infrared rays, and the transparent conductive layer covers at least 80% of the light-transmitting region R20.
Optionally, the projection display distance for the first image P1 ranges from 0.5 m to 5 m. The first image P1 may indicate key information such as vehicle speed, fuel level, or the engine speed. Alternatively, the projection display distance of the second image P2 is greater than or equal to 7.5 m. The second image P2 may be a relatively large image which can indicate information such as route navigation, a speeding reminder, or obstacle warnings.
